Came to sit and hear music. That was great, but man, the food was terrific. I’d definitely come back. Our waiter couldn’t have been nicer. Great drinks. And do not miss the bourbon pecan pie. Wow

Great tasting, bbq. The ribs and brisket were so juicy and tender. The bake beans were spot on with a little sweetness. The potato salad was delicious.

We have been to American bbq for meals a handful of times and always had a great experience and great food (love their nachos!). 5 stars for that. This review however is for their catering which this past Saturday was my first time using them for catering. I called once to get additional information and once to place the actual order and both times the people on the phone were so nice and so helpful! They made sure I had the correct amount of food. As expected the food was delicious. My cousin picked up the food for me and she said no issues at all, on time, and they carried it to her car. Everything was even labeled so people actually knew what it was. Would definitely do catering again from here!

Excellent food, atmosphere and service. The pulled pork and brisket were moist, tender and smoky with the sauce on the side. Sides were really good with a giant portion of cornbread. The atmosphere was really fun as the pictures show. Service was really friendly and quick.

My go to for Barbecue. Their nachos are very good. There are two sizes. The small is more than enough for one for dinner. Their 1/2 bbq chicken and their ribs are my favorite.

Stylish atmosphere with a welcoming Southern twist, an awesome update to the interior. It has a full bar with unique specials and inexpensive go-tos for all occasions. The food is delicious and comes with lots of great side options at a good price. They also had great social distancing practices. Highly recommended!
